Teachers, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and other supporters of financial education are gathering November 7 – 9, 2024 for the 16th annual Jump$tart National Educator Conference at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston, MA to expand the actionable impact of effective financial education in the classroom.
The Jump$tart National Educator Conference aligns with the Jump$tart’s three strategic pillars: communication, collaboration, and support for effectiveness in financial education, and it supports the goals of Check Your School, our national public-engagement campaign to increase and improve financial education in elementary, middle, and high schools across the country.
At Jump$tart, we believe that every student deserves financial education to prepare them sufficiently for their adult lives and that classroom-based financial education is critical for those students who cannot get this guidance at home. Personal finance teachers are changing lives… and this conference is for them. At the #JumpstartNEC, teachers learn about classroom resources that they can start using as soon as they return to school. they hear what’s new in finance and financial education, and they meet fellow educators from across the country ― and many stay in touch throughout the year.
This conference gives the rest of us the opportunity to support these talented and dedicated professional educators… and perhaps most importantly, to thank them for what they do.
